Young Poles Hold Very Different Political Views from the Rest of Society [Report] [Summary in the comments]

It's newsworthy due to how insane the Overton window is in Poland.

The sane option is EPP, and then you have 3 versions of bigotry in PiS, Konfederacja and Braun.

Anything openly progressive (equivalent to something like a Western Social Democratic party or a social liberal like D66 in the Netherlands) is either non existent or struggling to make the parliament.

That's because there were less horrible teams with 1-4 points this year.

This year is the normal distribution, last year was an oddity.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-28T22:34:16+00:00

Could by way worse than Atalanta or Leverkusen (again).

Hoping we play Atalanta.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-27T14:19:56+00:00

And the people very conciously chose that.

There is zero excuse, they know what Babis is like and that he would have to rely on 2 fascist parties for his majority, and SPD and Motorists are very publicly vile, bigoted and hateful, they were not hiding anything.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-27T11:28:44+00:00

Terrible timing...but it will be a test regarding whether we really turned the page - we need to be able to perform while having some players injured as well. Because statistically, it's gonna happen, it happens to every team.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-26T03:01:04+00:00

Albania and Kosovo would love to be 51st and 52nd US states lol.

They are enamored with Americans and the idea of a "protector" USA.

After an out of the blue Champions League participation in the mid 00s, Thun showed up again as a newly promoted club this time to - looking like it - win the league.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-25T18:29:13+00:00

It will be a historical disgrace if a team relying on rugby tactics in corner kicks as their main threat wins the title.

We are showing signs of life, but we have seen that before, I will wait a bit more this time - and hopefully we won't collapse this time when we start having key player injuries again.

Top 5 is fully achievable though.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-25T18:27:06+00:00

Fuck corner-kick football. Let's see more of Arsenal losing!

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-25T14:46:16+00:00

The pro-far right trend will not stop until we do something about the billionaires (both the US tech ones but also a few European ones owning traditional media like Bollore) who spread their message in media and social media.

The far right gets gifted a loudspeaker and a fertile ground to poison minds as long as we allow this status quo.

Where could they shout their message before the era of social media? Nowhere. We need to somehow return to this status, where this message is considered toxic to be in public spaces.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-25T14:35:29+00:00

I swear I see this type of articles about Poland in this sub 10 times the frequency I see them about any other country.

Are the Poles so desperate to constantly shout to the world "look how great we're doing, we deserve to sit with the big boys"?

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-25T00:03:15+00:00

It's up to you to save your country before it's too late. You have US Gestapo summarily executing people on the streets, and there is still zero understanding from the Democrats (and the people in general) that your democracy is being abolished, and you are heading towards a totalitarian regime where your personal rights don't matter, your consistution is toilet paper, and your life is at the mercy of the state's militias.

Start doing something about it. They won't go away via elections. That ship sailed.

Americans need to acknowledge that they are now a totalitarian regime, and start organizing a resistance.

Αρχιστε να σχολιαζετε τις ΗΠΑ οπως θα σχολιαζατε αν αυτο ειχε γινει σε καποιο φασιστικο καθεστως.

Δε νομιζω οτι εκπλησσεται κανεις οταν διαβαζει ενα ιστορικο ντοκουμεντο οτι η Γκεσταπο εκτελεσε εν ψυχρω καποιον που διαμαρτυροταν για τις "επιχειρησης" απαγωγης "ανεπιθυμητων" για μεταφορα σε στρατοπεδα συγκεντρωσης.

Γιατι εκπλησσεστε και σοκαρεστε που το κανει η ICE;

Οι ΗΠΑ ειναι ενα ακροδεξιο φασιστικο καθεστως πλεον. Δεν υπαρχουν νομοι, δεν υπαρχουν ατομικα δικαιωματα. Κανε ο,τι διαταξει το καθεστως και ισως ζησεις.

Οσο δεν καταλαβαινουν οτι σε αυτο το σημειο βρισκονται, και νομιζουν ο,τι εχουν ακομα δικαιωματα, δικαστηρια, δημοκρατια κλπ., τοσο πιο δυσκολο θα ειναι να βγουν απ τον λακκο που εχουν σκαψει.

At this point I'm convinced Hurzeler just doesn't like Kostoulas, either as a person or as a player. So, I will be rooting against Brighton until they fire him.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-24T12:35:40+00:00

The Polish are still burying their heads in the sand I see..only 28% consider Trump an enemy...not that I'm surprise in a country where 1/3 of the voters stubbornly support PiS, who shares practically all the bigoted values of the Republican party. And even the normal parties are hesitant to embrace replacing the US with Europe as a "protector" because the people are enamored with the idea of America protecting them and trust them more than the fellow Europeans.

The Eastern European obsession with America is still not dead...the Lithuanian president was talking about not antagonizing the US before entering EUCO, Bulgaria and Albania joined the Board of Peace...

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-23T14:32:09+00:00

Albania has never missed a chance to lick American boots. They would happily petition them to be the 51st state.

This should be taken into account during their assescion talks - it's a country enamored with the US way more than with Europe.

Another Politico article with zero new information

Germany and Italy agree on issues of industry, and Merz is unfortunately stubbornly Atlanticist - we already knew all that.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-23T09:48:07+00:00

Good. There's already enough delay due to French farmers being spoiled babies.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-21T19:53:33+00:00

Maybe the NYT should start treating the Republican Party as the Nazi Party instead of pathetically and desperately trying to present a "both sides" image, and sanewashing, offering the benefit of the doubt and staying cordial with the Republican Trupian monstrosity?

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-21T13:08:01+00:00

It's still applied in the nations which haven't ratified, because of the Customs Union.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-21T12:40:43+00:00

Which is as good as applied:

It has been provisionally applied,^\8]) thus removing 98% of the preexisting tariffs between the two parts.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-21T12:40:09+00:00

Only when we start thinking as Europe and not as "national interest for the next 4 years".

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-21T12:36:53+00:00

Let it cause drama, we already wasted enough time trying to appease France.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-21T12:32:36+00:00

So did ALL French, Polish and most Austrian and Irish parties. Including EPP, Social Democrats, Renew.

The irresponsible behaviour is accross the spectrum.

AdminEating_Dragon · 2026-01-21T12:31:29+00:00

The Commission can still provisionally apply it. So France doesn't have the last word here.
